| My mum always smacked us as kids, sometimes with her hand other times with various kitchen implements, depending on what she could get her hands on at the time. My father tended to rage and shout and we had many stand offs of doors slamming and refusing to budge an inch. At primary school I once got slippered by the headmaster, to this day I can't remember what for.
I don't have kids but I don't think I could bring myself to slapping them. Knowing how much now I don't get on with my father and only speak to my mother out of curtesy I don't think I would want that.
